A U S T R A L I A N a d v e n t u r e

This spontaneous trip to Australia really was more of an adventure than a vacation! It was so AMAZING. Australia was beautiful and one of my new favorite places in the world. It has been over a month since we went, so I wanted to get some photos up before we go out of town again. Text to come!

GORGEOUS beaches

Jonny took us on an amazing hike through a cave where we walked out onto a huge cliff overlooking the ocean

The Sorting Hat ha ha. To quote Erica "not Slytherin..not Slytherin..."

Mama and Roo, we even got to pet her

Erica with her little sister pony (with her same hair!). She walked up to it and told her she liked her bangs.

I caught a SHARK!! Holy smokes! Then we had Shark on the barbie at the beach house.

Kangaroo Attack!

Beautiful Darling Harbor

Wood Family Vacation

Well we finally took a family trip with the Woods! It was years overdue. We stayed at a great resort in Phoenix called The Arizona Grand. I have never stayed in a resort like this before, it was a gorgeous place. There were Spanish fountains and gardens everywhere. The resort has its own water park, so we did a lot of swimming. Jack Jack loved the kitty pool and being able to just hang out and splash in the water. The guys did some golfing, we went shopping, out to eat, and did some relaxing. One of my favorite things was just walking around the golf course lake, looking at the ducks and eating gelato with my guys. (There was some serious gourmet coconut gelato there!)

We went with Grandpa Gordon & Grandma Sherrie, Brandon & Brandi’s family, and Shay & Britney. And I cannot believe I don’t have a single photo of Shay and Britney! I am so sad. They are such a good lookin’ couple too. It was so great to be able to spend time with the whole fam. The only problem was our crazy little monster child! It was his first plane ride and being out of his routine was hard, he is really a pretty easy kid so it was surprising how hard it was for him to be out of his element! Nick thought to put Toy Story on my Ipod, and Jackson was totally sucked in every time, it was a serious life saver! And besides my getting horribly sick with strep throat on the last night (AWFUL!) we overall had a great time and loved being with the fam!

This photo says it all

Cheesers! You can see where he gets his awesomeness ha ha

This is Jack Jack's classic "on your mark, get set go!" pose. It is our trick to get him to go in the right direction, works ALMOST every time.
